How to installl saltstack in Rhel5.4 OS about salt-winrepo HOT 3 CLOSED

Try to import GnuPG key:

wget -O /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/SALTSTACK-EL5-GPG-KEY.pub --no-check-certificate https://repo.saltstack.com/yum/redhat/5Server/x86_64/latest/SALTSTACK-EL5-GPG-KEY.pub rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/SALTSTACK-EL5-GPG-KEY.pub

from salt-winrepo.

@malasgowda SaltStack no longer supports Redhat 5 since it has reached it End-Of-Life.
However you should be able to use archived versions of support for Redhat 5 from when it was supported, check instructions from http://repo.saltstack.com/2016.11.html#rhel

That version was installed and tested by QA, however it would have been against Redhat 5.11 at a minimum. Redhat 5.4 is quite old, however I would attempt using the install Salt Repo rpm as follows from he above page:

wget https://repo.saltstack.com/yum/redhat/salt-repo-2016.11-1.el5.noarch.rpm
sudo rpm -ivh salt-repo-2016.11-1.el5.noarch.rpm
rm -f salt-repo-2016.11-1.el5.noarch.rpm

Then yum clean all or yum makecache, followed by:

yum install salt-minion

This should include downloading all dependencies from repo.saltstack.com for salt-minion to be functional.

@malasgowda BTW, packaging issues are better dealt with by salt-pack, which is where all packaging builds occur, see https://github.com/saltstack/salt-pack
